The La Chateau Spring 2013 ad campaign captures a very pretty garden party. But in place of demure wide-rimmed hats, classic cocktail dresses and white gloves, the photoshoot depicts a much more modern take on such a gathering. Thankfully, it didn't get rid of the vibrant floral patterns of the flowers that inspired them. In fact, those flowers are beautifully blurred in the out-of-focus foreground of the images.
Starring model Crystal Renn, the La Chateau Spring 2013 ad campaign was shot by photographer Max Abadian. The American beauty was clad in pristine white pants, sharp teal blazers and striped curve-hugging dresses stylist Azamit. Chic and sophisticated, the elegant looks are made for independent and feminine women.
